LiTTLE CHERiNE Book 02 - post073
“God but you’ve got a dirty mind! Girls, you want a nice clean thinking and handsome guy, I’m available.” Nicko grinned good-naturedly at their boos.

Chapter Eighty
It all goes to prove how the body is affected by the mind. Long before Christmas I had improved to such an extent that we were able to have and go to parties, dance (both at the parties and once in the void), make love more often and revel in our life together in many ways. As long as I used a bit of common sense, my healer was able to stabilise me most of the time.
Dommi remonstrated gently, “You see Roberto, you broke your own rules, kept what you feared a secret and let it bring you down. When are you going to learn to also trust us with your pains and fears?”
“Not in the foreseeable future. If I tried to, your worry and pain would only multiply my own. It is my role as protector to care for you.”
“And it is our role as your wives to care for you.”
“Speaking of which, Dommi, do you think the rest of the girls would like to marry us?”
“Why have you waited so long?”
“First of all, I still feel uncomfortable at the idea of my own daughters marrying me. Secondly, what kind of wedding would it be for them without a wedding night - which not even they would have allowed me. Thirdly, Em-e. We cannot marry her in secret. I need to know that such an occasion will only give joy to her parents.”
Her voice was a trifle sharper now, “That Jonathan, he has turned out to be the most difficult of all. He sees he is younger, his daughter is healthy and happy, he has been dancing so many times - and yet he has no circle, no interest in creating his own World. What is holding him back?”
“A severe upbringing. He has adjusted to his daughter being mine - as he sees it, he does not consider or think of you girls as being her lovers too. Still, every time we break one of the rules he grew up under, it shocks him. He is rigid, only slowly will he become flexible. We can wait for him.”
“A wedding on the fourteenth of February would be nice.”
“Now who is being silly. Our girls would lose out.”
“Then decide, but decide soon Robert.” She stopped thoughtfully. “You do know which date would make them the happiest - and make all us married girls green-eyed?”
“Not a clue.”
874
“The sixth of January, on your birthday.”
“That would be the loveliest birthday gift of all, but there is no way Jonathan will have agreed by then. To marry anyone and leave Em-e out would be cruel.”
I dropped the subject, forgetting what a bulldog Dommi can be. She arranged for her, Cherine and Meli to visit Em-e and her mother at a time her father was not there.
“Percy, this is an opportunity too good to miss, for the girls to get married on his birthday would make them the envy of all of us, but we cannot marry the girls without Em-e, and Robert insists we first have the wholehearted approval of your husband. Is there any chance you could convince him?”
“That only leaves us days! I cannot do it so fast. He needs time for every decision he has to make.” She saw the look of faith and joy on her daughter’s face die and she felt the pain. She furiously racked her brains. “I will try, but please do not get too disappointed if I do not succeed kori mou.”
Once Em-e had gone to bed, she spoke to her husband that evening. He, to her surprise, did not get furious as she expected. His face went ice-cold and hard and he only answered with a curt “No.”
Cherine should have known better. She should have been monitoring, but she was playing a game and was not. She had not expected anything to happen that fast.
We all felt it at the same moment. As the girls looked up startled, Cherine, Dommi and I jumped.
I collapsed as I arrived, totally drained. My chest was on fire again. As the girls turned to me, torn by their need to help me and find Em-e, I shouted to them to go. Percy and Jonathan were staring at me, their faces waxen with fear. They knew that jumping was almost the same as my committing suicide, so they soon realised something is drastically wrong. They both rushed behind the girls into their daughter’s bedroom.
I forced myself up and staggered through to find Cherine and Dommi unconscious, lying on the floor. Percy began to scream as she held to her the body of her daughter.
“Percy, quick, tear off her pyjama top, put your arm on her chest.”
As she ignored me, Jonathan grabbed at his daughter and pulling her top off put his arm across her chest. The healer acted swiftly.
“Jonathan, be very careful, do not move your arm.”
“I know, I did it for you.”
I sat on the floor by my girls and the tears began to fall. “I can’t! I haven’t got the strength.”
“You can’t do what!!” Percy screamed at me.
“I can’t go to the void. My two loves have gone after Em-e, I must go to help, but I can’t, I’m too weak.” At this admission tears spilled down my cheeks.
Without moving Jonathan turned his face to me, with a look of fury and terror. “Don’t you fucking die on us you bastard. Don’t fucking die, I’ll kill you!”
Cherine moaned and sat up. “Robert, she is not there, the Sparklers say she did not go there!”
“Jesus, she must have…oh god, what do I do?”
Cherine had to explain to the parents. “Em-e did not go to the void, she has killed herself by falling into another kind of space within her mind. Robert has done it to us. We have to go into her, but Robert must not try to follow me.”
“Cherine, call back Dommi, she must help you.”
“She went there directly. I’ll be back love.”
875
An hour later we were still waiting. The other girls had all jumped and were with us. I could not stand it anymore, “Sam, you must…no, Wendy, you go. See if you can help, otherwise come back to tell me what is going on.”
Claudia had brought a chocolate and was feeding me pieces. It would not be fast enough.
“Percy, have you got any glucose? If not, bring me sugar.”
“No daddy, you must not go.” Sam stood over me defiantly, her little fists clenched. That made Percy run, bringing back sugar. I ate a few mouthfuls and gave it a few minutes.
Wendy sat up. Her face was full of fear. “Robert she did the same as you, she locked herself in a shell. There is no cord so we cannot use it to get inside her. They are holding her up, but they need help.”
I lay down and closed my eyes. This I was now able to do, I entered Em-e and found Dommi holding the little shell while Cherine tried to break in. I made Cherine stop.
I sensed my girls had all followed me in. I wrapped myself around the shell so that she became my core. I called the protector to meld with me. As I blazed I called to my girls to also meld within me.
*Robert, we can’t create the Kaleidoscope World in her!* *It already exists in the void. Just try this love, we have nothing more to lose.*
They all entered me and we imploded, thrown out to the void and into our World.
I saw what Robert wanted. He realised the inner space of Maria-Elena is her territory. She would be weaker here. He forced her shell to the core of our World and called to the Sparklers for more energy. They sent it. He tried to use it to force his way through her barrier. It did not work.
I grabbed her and spun my way out back into the void. I called to the protector, telling it we have to do what we had done to Richard. I have to become the void. That would give me the power to break through and save her.
The protector refused. It showed me breaking through and her soul being instantly consumed. I had no choice, I would have to gamble I could intervene in time. I forced it to help me. I became the void.
The sphere was no longer dark. It had a phosphorescent glow to it and I could see it pulsed weakly, resembling the Sparklers as they fed off me. I pulled the currents of power to me, ready to assault, smash my way through, consume that pearly shine, the energy of her life.
A spot attracted me, a tiny spot on the sphere. It was where the cord had reached to her body before it was severed. Urgently I smashed away the energy I had unleashed upon the glow. I pulled the protector into a needle sharp point and forced it through the spot and as I too flowed through, I made the protector seal the spot.
*Maria-Elena. Come to me, my love. Come to me.*
I flared until my love shone throughout her little closed world. It was almost empty. She had withdrawn, pulled herself into one tiny tight bundle, hardly a pulse of energy left to her. I streamed in and wrapped her within myself. As I held her, I fed her.
Slowly, like a child curled up in sleep, she unfurled, opening herself to receive the love I fed her. I continued to call to her gently.
*Robbie?* *Here for you my love.* *I want to die. My father will never let me marry you. * *We are married Em-e, we are.* *No.* *Are you already arguing with me wife?* *How can we be married?* *We are in the void love. I am now the void and the void is me. This is my world and in my world you are married to me.*
It took a long time of gentle persuasion and love, but she came to me voluntarily now, let me hold her within my soul. The shell crumbled and faded away. I sped with her back to her inner world and returned her soul to her precious body.
I saw all my loves there as they surrounded her and found they could not see me. Sadly I returned to my world of meaningless energy vortexes and the void.
876
I cried for my protector to deliver me, but was met with only my existence being fed on by uncountable numbers of souls throughout my universe. A constant irritation, I would flicker and throw them from one part of me to another, getting rid of them by sending them to what i felt are suitable pockets of matter.
A soft stirring within me. The protector, it was within! I called for it to return me, to release the void from me.
A burning was flaming its way over my chest. I gasped in agony and clutched at it with my hands.
“Robbie don’t, you’ll hurt yourself.”
I opened my eyes to find my loves holding on to me. I had made it, I was back.
“Em-e?”
“She is alive. She came back, she says you brought her back.”
“The void.”
I slept, worn out beyond my endurance.
They did not dare move me, only placing me upon the bed of my Em-e. Even in my sleep I sensed the scent of her upon the sheets and slept in peace. That night and the next day and night, I slept while my healer fought its own battles within me. I woke up to an unpleasant stench.
“Where am I?”
“You are in Maria-Elena’s bed. Everyone is here Roberto, all your loved ones, safe and sound. Sleep and let your healer help you.”
“What is that awful smell?”
“It is you Roberto.” I opened my eyes and saw I had been talking to Maria, our own good doctor.
“My body is already rotting?”
“Relax, let your healer work.”
The door opened and she frowned. Cherine entered and saw my eyes were open. “I have come for you my love. It is time for us to go to our beautiful Kaleidoscope World. We will keep it ready so that our loves can join us there someday.”
“I am not ready Cherry baby. I promised to fight to the end. I do not break my promises.”
Tears dripped silently down to her chin as she looked at me with a sweet unbearable tenderness. “You have kept your promise my love. We all agree, it is time for you to find peace. It will be just the two of us again my love, until the others come. Dommi promised to stay a while and help our children and lovers.”
“I am not ready yet.”
She buried her face in her hands and sobbed. From somewhere she found the strength within her and faced me again. “Your body is dying. Your healer cannot save you anymore.”
“Maria told me that my body is rotting. What percentage viability?”
“Under thirty. The healer cannot save a body with less than forty.”
